God Loves Cowboys

God must love cowboys
   for He knew how to make
a high mountain vista
   to make the heart ache.
A musical stream bed
   with water so sweet
Just one single mouthful
   and your thirst will be beat.
A soft, gentle shower
   to cool a hot day
and a faithful old horse
   to carry you on your way.
A nice shady glen
   to bed down for the night
and a glorious sunrise
   to start the day right.
